http://www.munichlegends.co.uk/item/bmw-e30-m3-europameister-73221 I thought well priced?!

Either that, or it’s had chassis numbers changed....... which is also possible Bmw vin decoder doesn’t generally lie about the colour

A warranty on an M5 will be around $4k+ for 2 years. You are literally gambling. You could go with and older car and a warranty and then have no issues like I did, effectively paying 4 grand for nothing. Or you could have heaps of moderate issues and you get a decent return on your warranty investment. Or you could have a major issue which costs 20k to fix at which point your warrant only covers half of that. In my opinion the cards are firmly stacked in the insurers favour when it comes to M or other "exotic" cars. Better off stashing the money in the bank. The $1800 4 year warranty on our 535i is much better value IMO. Personally I would fish for the best $40-50k example and fix anything that breaks along the way.

Gidday team. My old Mercedes wagon blew out on me in January, so I thought I would throw myself into the BMW realm for a change. Went and bought a 2006 325i E91. Nabbed it from Christchurch and drove like a dream down home to Queenstown. Will be coming to uni with me in Dunners as well when semester 2 starts up. Pretty keen to black out the rims and grille soon and get her looking stealthy.

Hi guys my name is Jacob and this is my E92 335i in Monaco Blue. I am abit late to creating an account on here so ive attatched a few photos of when i purchased the car last year in late July as a daily driver. Loving the 335i as a platform from other previous cars ive had like my old r32 gtr. The comfort, luxury and performance for the price is probably one of the best cars out there in my opinion. Over the almost year ive owned the car i have added a simple trunk spoiler lip, stage 1 tune, vertini wheels, H&R lowering springs and soon to have fitted a 1m style front bumper. Have plans this year to go FBO and stage 2+ along with potentially an m sport rear bumper and some side skirt extensions.

Has anyone got a decent condition e30 carpet for sale?

Vapour blasting would take the metal back to steel, then you spray the bay with no clear in your gun. It’s incredibly simple to mimic paint finish as poor as BMW have been outputting over the last 20 years. The challenge really is to get as much orange peel into the clear as they seem to.

if you get it here then they find some old repairs welding etc they might want a engineers report on it , which means stripping it all back etc

That is odd, maybe it really is lost! Usually big bits from DemonTweeks come straight thru to us in Christchurch, around three or four days. We got some wheels last week from Apex, in the US, send on the Thursday our time, here Monday 10.30am. And the same with a job lot of discs and calipers from Schmeidmann, ordered Friday our time, here Monday midday, back in April when we were all locked up. For sure Royal Mail is all choked up, as is our postal system. Just a waiting game really, and hope we do not end up out of pocket?

Slow progress on the bumper. First attempt at fibreglass repairing with lessons learned. All cracks are repaired though and not re appearing so far with alot of moving the bumper around. Filler next. Got a facelift M wheel in pretty good nick for it along with an updated airbag.

The dealer did tell me they can sell me an aftermarket warranty when the BMW one expires, which would be provided by Autosure. If they do M4s, I'm sure they do M5s. Autosure are awesome, saved me thousands on my 335i. Modifications are negotiable too but your excess might be higher depending on what you modify.

It's how we know the search feature is working. Haha. And it's why the Forum will outlast facebook and it's black hole of knowledge.

Jeez guys, how many times are we going to quote all of the photos?

^ HELLBM installed the CMP kit (and plates). HellBM has done all the work on the car in fact. Future plans... perhaps a 4.1 diff and seat upgrade?!? (BTW that plate is tongue in cheek - I actually like SMG and would buy another in a heartbeat #SMGismanual)

Paint is 95% mint, and did want to do a full polish for 100% mint-ness, but have only had chance to clean and wax. I did repaint the CMP subframe reinforcement grey. Here are some pics...
